7 on 5 and they run to the corner. Surely working a 7 pointer would have been smarter

[Stargazer]

What a bs card. Geez.

Score? Time?

[Stargazer]

@booboo 17 - 14 NZ with one minute to go.

Geez making hard work of it! That ref and Haughton won't be back for cup games in a while.

[Crucial]

Shit we made that look difficult.
Well done though 17-14 at the end thanks to Oz brain farts handing us penalties at the end

[KiwiMurph]

Aus choked hard at the finish.

Dramatic final.

[Bovidae]

NZ did not play well. The ref dominated that game.

[Crucial]

That should be the series shouldn’t it?

[Stargazer]

Thank you to Canada for beating South Africa in the bronze final. That's great for the table:

Looking at the knees of most players: are they playing on artificial turf?

Yes. It's the same venue the Maori played Canada a few years back.

[Crucial]

Only just realized that the Singapore and HK rounds are still scheduled, albeit not until October

[Stargazer]

@Crucial Not yet. I don't know whether points earned during the postponed legs of the Series still count for this Series, or not, but even with two legs to go, South Africa can still catch us, if we have two nightmare tournaments.

[Crucial]

Would be nice to get ENS back to the Chiefs for later rounds if possible. He looked very good this tournament and still has some decent size

Yeah, I did mean to say barring shocking results

From what I can tell though the Asian legs still count

[Stargazer]

@Crucial Yeah, I think so, too, for the Series standings. They can't have any influence on the Olympic seedings, obviously.
